Now, why she called upon_ Mr. Harmar about the 6/., three weeks ago, she had said nothing about the sovereign, if her first statement was to be believed. " You say you mentioned that on the same conditions as you men- tioned the other matter about the 64, what were those conditions ? I had no other conditions except those I have named. You have not named any—tell me one condition. I don't know what you mean." That was the way in which the witness equivocated, when pressed.

WITH WHICH TIIE "TRUE SUN" Is NOW INCORPORATED. to know what you mean—what do you mean by saying you told him about the sovereign on the same conditions as you told him about the other matter ? Ido not know what you mean, lam sure. Do you not know these terms ? Yes. What did you mean when you used them ? That Mr. Harmar put down in writing what I was promised, and Mr. Harmar asked me if I had re.. ceived anything, and I said I had only received a sovereign from Mr. Berkeley. What did you mean by telling me that you told him about the sovereign on the same condi tions as you told him about the 6/. ? That is the commoa language—it is a word we repeat." It was very difficult to convey to the minds of the Jury the effect produced by such a witness under examination, but they would presently see what its effect was upon the Committee by the course they adopted. But they must endeavour to consider the nature of the answers given and the prevaricating, shuffling, and contradiction which was evident throughout her examina tion. " Were you promised anything for tellin g this sto r y to Mr. Harmar ?" " I was never promisedanything," She was again asked " When was it you told Mr. Harmar about the sovereign ?" " I told him of it one day I believe last week." So that it had gone out of her head that a little before she bad stated that she toll him three weeks previously, and again, that she had only told him that morn ing, " when I had an interview with him at the place we put up at in London." Now the Jury would observe that rthat was the Gun Inn, and she had already stated that she had never seen him there. "At the inn?" " I sup pose it was." " Have you never told him of it at Bristol ?" "He did not know it at Bristol. He was angry with me because I had not told him of it at Bristol." LON DON, TUESDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 25, 1838. N o. 14,445 PRICE sd. MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

SUGAR.—The transactions in West India Muscovades have again been very limited; grocers as well as refiners haVe pur chased with much caution, but importers have refused gene rally to submit to lower prices ; in some instances, however, purchases have been made 6d to ls under former rates.

The two daugh ters of Or. Southey, both 4'o 'to be niEirrie4 . shm*, .. highly accomplished, are, it is when the party came up to her, and she said she was standing at the threshold of her own door ; that Mr. Carlisle and Mr. Berkeley were foremost, and Mr. Carlisle asked her if her husband was at home. She stated that Mr. Carlisle and Mr. Berkeley were on the threshold of her sitting-room door inside, when all the gentlemen who were there on that day would prove that they never set foot inside her door at all. " Let us make this clear— when you stood in this little passage, you spoke of a passage between the door into the room and the outer door into the passage ?" " Yes." " And you stood under the entrance of your own sitting-room door ?" " Yes." Then she says her daughter by a former husband, Sarah Anne Hayward, and a Mrs. Hazard were in the sitting room behind her. " When they got into the passage, who spoke?" " Mr. Carlisle spoke to me first." " Was Mr. Ber keley within hearing when he spoke ?" "Close to him, close to me." " What did Mr. Carlisle then say ?" "He asked me if I knew whom my husband was goinc , to vote for at the ensuing election. I said I believed he was going to give one and one. Mr. Carlisle said he would act like a sen sible man, and he would give him the 61. at Christmas ; you can tell him from me, he will act like a wise man if he does so." That was the first part of the defendant's testimony that was charged, and upon which the indictment was laid. In that part she added to the correct version of what really occurred, the words that Mr. Carlisle would give him the 6/. at Christmas. " I made my curtsey when he promised me the 61., and thanked him." " Now when you had thanked him what passed next." " Mr. Carlisle handed me a pink card." That was the fact, for when the party went about canvassing, they presented pink cards to the voters, but he (Mr. Crowder . " had omitted to state that. " Did Mr. Berkeley do or say anything ?" " He held me his hand ; and shook hands with me, and said to Mr. Carlisle I hope you will remember them at Christmas." Again—" I shook hands. He told me to give that to my husband. He spoke quietly. That was the card ? No, it was not. Just explain:yourself when you say he spoke quietly. Mr. Berkeley shook bands with me. He put something in any hands, and told me to give it to my husband. Do you mean he spoke to you as I am speak ing now, or in what way r He said, " Give that to your husband, with my respects, Mrs. Virrier." Was it said loud, or was it said in a whisper ? "In a whisper." She did not ascertain what it was till all the gentlemen were gone. What was it ? It was a sovereign, wrapped up in some paper—a small piece of paper. Did anything more pass after that ? Mr. Carlisle told me he should not forget; it was in his power to give my husband the 61. at Christ mas ; it was in his power to do so, and he said, I will not forget it ; and Mr. Taunton will call on Mr. Virrier in a few days." These were the three points of the defendant's evidence, upon which wilful and corrupt perjury was al leged. First, the statement that Mr. Carlisle had pro mised her husband 61. at Christmas. Next, that Mr. Berkeley had put a sovereign into her hands. And, thirdly, that Mr. Carlisle told her it was in his power to give her the 6/. at Christmas, and that he should not forget to do so. She was asked a few more questions as to what further occurred after the sovereign had been given her. " When your husband came down stairs, what did you do ? I showed him what I had given me for him. I threw the piece of paper in the fire, and put the sovereign in my pocket." The cross-examination of the witness was then conducted by Counsel, and after that had terminated, the Committee, as they. bad a right to do, whose object was to ascertain the truth of the statements made, feeling that it was a most singular and unaccountable statement, proceeded to examine her minutely as to how it was that she did not mention the fact of the sovereign to her daughter or Mrs. Hayward ; and without going into all the details it would be his duty to point out certain passages which would show that that woman, without a single witness being called against her, could not by any rational man be believed. It must have struck the Committee as extraordinary that Mr. Berkeley should go to her house and ask a vote—that he got the vote, it being stated that her husband would vote " one and one," and instead of saying he was much obliged and proceeding, the witness would lead them to believe that Mr. Berkeley gave her a sovereign, and that he would think it necessary, because she had given the promise to vote, to whisper in her ear, and put a sovereign in her hand, and that Mr. Carlisle, who was well known in Bris tol, and who had taken an active part in public affairs on such occasions, openly, loudly, and without any whisper at all, should say " Your husband acts like a sen sible man—l will give him at Christmas 61.—1 can do it and I will." The Committee took up that I vote, and he would direct their attention to some 'of the points upon which she was examined, and the Jury would see the accounts she gave of the transaction. The Counsel inquired into the state of her husband's cir cumstances. It appeared that he had been three times through the Insolvent Court ; that lie had been a petitioner for 6/. under Lady Peloquin's Charity in 1833, before the appointment of the present trustees, as one of the persons designated in it. He made another application in 1836, after the appointment of Mr. Carlisle and the other trus tees ; but, by the rules of the Charity, no person could re ceive it oftener than once in three years. His petition was sent in in the usual way, and the answer was that it could not be granted. It appeared. also, that he had applied in 1837, in January or February, respecting the 61., which would fall due at Christmas, 1837, and upon that occasion Mr. Carlisle, who had known him as A newsvender, told him he would do the best he could for him. That any pro mise was ever made by Mr. Carlisle he utterly denied. It would be a gross dereliction of his duty to do so, because the usual course was for a petition to be sent in to the Mr. CROWDED. (with whom were Messrs. ADOLPHUS and CHAMBERS) stated the case. The Hon. Ftancis Henry Fitzhardinge Beri.eley, one cf the Members for the city of Bristol, was the prosecutor ; and the defendant was Mrs Sarah Virrier, the wife of a newspaper vender, who cairied on business in Bristol ; and they had heard from his Learned Friend who had opened the p.eadings, that it was a prose cution instituted against the defendant, Sarah Virrier, charging her wi.h the commission of wil'ul and corrupt per jury, when giving her evidence before a Committee of the House of Commons, that Committee having been ap pointed for the purpose of trying the validity of Mr. Ber keley's return. He was satisfied that the Jury must con sider it a case of very considerable importance, and it was of deep importance beyond all question to the defendant, against whom the charge of so grave an offence was alleged. It was a case also of great importance to Mr. Berkeley, who by the alleged perjury of the defendant was charged with the offence of bribery at the election for the city of Bristol, ,Ind it must be obvious also that every case of perjury was e of deep importance to the public at large, because there was no man whose fortune, liberty, character, or even life itself, might not at one time or another depend on the tes timony oneetnesses in a Court of Justice. He said that in or der that the jury might give their most anxious attention to the case. So that, if the defendant was guilty of that most serious offence, they would have no hesitation in pro nouncing a verdict of Guilty, and that the most serious punishment might follow ; but unless they were satisfied of the evidence of her guilt, beyond all question they should give her the benefit of it. The circumstances of the case, as they would perceive, arose out of the :last election for the city of Bristol. The general election took place in July, 1837 ; and in that month, on the 20th br 22d July, the nomination of Members for the city of Bristol was made, and two or three days afterwards the election took place. On that occasion three persons were candidates for the honour of representing the city of Bristol, Mr. Miles, Mr. Fripp, and Mr. Berkeley. Mr. Miles and Mr. Berke ley were returned, Mr. Berkeley having 56 votes over the other candidate, Mr. Fripp. The constituency was very large, and the numbers polled for Mr. Berkeley was 3,156. Previous to the election, of course it was necessary to can vass the electors of Bristol ; and Mr. Berkeley, prior to the month of July, being wholly unacquainted with the city of Bristol, had introductions to those persons on the same side of politics with himself, and a Committee was appointed among :those who were his friends, for the pur pose of securing his return ; and a canvas took place. Accordingly, on the Gth July, Mr. Berkeley, in company with five or six other gentlemen, members of his Commit tee, went upon a canvass. The constituency being exceed ingly large, it was a considerable labour to go through it, from house to house ; but they proceeded until they came to a passage called Adam and Eve-passage, in which the defendant and her husband lived. The party of canvassers proceeded up that passage and called at the house of Virrier, her husband ; and that took place between Mr. Berkeley and the canvassing party and Mrs Virrier, which formed the subject of the statements made by Mrs. Virrier, before the Committee of the House of Commons, on which the charge of perjury was assigned. He would state before lie went into the particulars of what occured, that after the return of Mr. Berkeley, as Member for the city of Bristol, on the 21st of November, a petition was pre sented against his return by Mr. Fripp and other persons. That petition was in the ordinary way referred to a Committee of the House. It sat on the 16th February, and on the 17th and 18th witnesses were examined. On the 19th Mrs. Virrier was called as one of the witnesses in support of the petition. The petition against Mr. Berkeley's re turn contained, amongst other matters, charges of bribery against Mr. Berkeley, and charges of bribery were also pre ferred against others, agents of Mr. Berkeley, of a most serious character as would be found when he had called the attention of the Airy to it. (The Learned Counsel here read an extract from the petition in question—" That the said Francis Henry Fitzhardinge Berkeley, in person, was guilty of open and ex tensive bribery and corrupt practices, in order to procure the votes of persons having or claiming toliave a right to vote.") A charge more serious could not well be brought, for it charged Mr. Berkeley with having- -committed open and extensive bribery, and it also alleged that those persons who had the administration of the funds of the public charities of the town were guilty of using those charity funds for political purposes. It was in support of these two charges that on the 19th of February the defendant Virrier was produced and sworn before the Committee, and her evidence referred to the period when Mr. Berkeley, and the canvassers who accompanied him were in Adam and Eve-passage, on the Gth of July, as before referred to. He would state to them now what did occur an that occasion, and it was ex ceedingly brief. Mr. Berkeley was accompanied by Mr. Carlisle,nd A' Mr. Visger, Mr. Rankin, two Messrs. Saunders, an d Mr. Somerton. Adam and Eve-passage was a narrow one, running from one street into another, at the entrance it was only three or four feet wide, but about eight or nine opposite Virrier's shop, which he stood on the right hand side. It was known to Mr. Carlisle, who was one of the trustees of the charity funds, that Virrier was a freeman and lived there. Mr. Visger was also one of the trustees and Mr. Saunders another. Those three gentlemen were con nected w ith:the:charity, and Mr. Carlisle, who had known Virrier before, saw Mrs. Verier, the defendant, standing at the door, and asked if her husband was at home. Her an swer was that he was not at home. Mr. Carlisle inquired, " Which way does he intend to vote ?" Mrs. Virrier re plied, " I believe he intends to give one and one." Mr. Carlisle seemed satisfied at that, and said " I think your husband is a sensible man if he does so." and then intro ducing his friend added, " this is Mr. Berkeley." Mr. Berkeley put his hand out, thanked Mrs. Virrier, and proceeded on his canvass immediately. What he had stated occupied about two minutes and then the parties separated. That was the whole of what took place, he could most distinctly state to them, and it would be proved on oath by Mr. Berkeley, Mr. Visger, Mr. Somerton, and the other gentlemen referred to. They would state that not a single word was uttered about giving any sum of money or promising it on that or indeed or any other occasion. At the election,iVirrier in truth, did not vote at all , for he believed he had been off to gaol a day or two a ft er t h at occurrence. lie ( Virrier) had passed two or th ree ti mes t h roug h t h e takenln so lvent Court, and was in very embarrassed circum stances, but at the time of the election he did not vote at a ll. Before he called the attention of the jury to what Mrs. Virrier stated, and the account she gave of the matter before the Committee, he would say a word or two respecting the Charity, of which Mr. Carlisle, Mr. Visger, and Mr. Saunders were three of the trustees. Bristol had for a long time had a number of charities, some of them very rich, which, from time to time, were distributed according to the trusts of these charities, some of them at a particular period of the year, Christmas. Among other rich charities distri buted, was that of Lady Pelloquin, and the custom in that re spectwlciooh n m r s e : n tma , o a being smTi daifeinrereaaegbmel jurymee n e wna o tle trreoerfwapti charitable oo e nb a a b o hl f y a was to distribute 6). each, to a num b er o f poor men an d freemen,daware,f beenu n funds thatmo a t. 3 t ad w r ll d Ili et ay the e b r o i u p t : Municipal C or p orat i on R e f orm Act, Prior to that altera tion these f un d s were i n the hands of certain persons, an d it was not k nown under what precise circumstances the distributi on too k p l ace, but it was deemed pru d ent b y t h e Legislature, that on application to the Lord Chancellor a proper inquiry should be made, and that certain persons should ho appointed as trustees of the funds which previously belonged to the Corporation. With respect to the city of Bristol, in October 1836 an application of that nature was made to ap point proper persons to administer these funds ; that was referred t o th e M aster, and certa i n names were ment i one d to the M as t er whose b us i ness it was t o see th a t t h e persons s o Among the n ames so mentioned were those of Mr. named were proper to fill so important a trust,Carlisre, Vi sger, and Mr. S aun d ers , an d fifteen or sixteen others. Th e Chancellor confirmed the report of the Master, constitnti og those individuals trustees of the Charity, and he thought it very necessary tq mention those facts, a charge being made in the petition, and it being attempted tq lac supported by the witness, and it went to the character of those parties, who, being trustees for the distribution of the" funds 'according to theie consciences and the best information they could ?ibtain, were charged .with having applied q. for the purpose of inducing a pctrtv to give hi d vote for a political purpose. Nqw ha begged t. 9 call their attention tq whai had occurred on that occa sion, ar i d tq the evidence given before the Committee. She (Mrs. Virrier) was examined as to what had occurred in Adam and Eve-passage, and her account in the first instance was short and conclusive, but they would find by and-by, when she had undergone a short, examination, the sort of answers she gave. Sjie was asked where she stood trustees. It was then considered, inquiries were made, and the cases were to be considered by the whole body of tke trustees together, before they could come to a final arrangement and determination as to what parties were to receive it, All, therefore, that was dope with reference to that was, that Mr. Carlisle, in the be ginning of the year said he would do his best for him. When the election had taken place, It turned out that the character of Virrier was not such as entitled him to relief, and in truth his petition was rejected in Christmas, 1837, and then it was that in February, 1838, Mrs. Virrier was called before the Committee, and made those statements. One thing that struck the Committee very strongly was , that s h e ment i one d not hi ng a b ou t receiving the sovereign from Mr, Berkeley. She gave an account of that which was worthy the notice of the Jury. She first said that she never told Mr. Harmar about it till that morning, that she showed it to her husband, but did not tell her daughter or the other female, nor ever said anything at all about it —and then she says, I went to Mr. Harmer to know why my husband did not get the 61. " That was about a fort night or three weeks ago. Did you tell Mr. Harmar about the sovereign ? Neither Mr. Harmar nor any body else knew anything about it. Had you a conversation with Mr, liarmar ? Nothing more:than that he told me he was sorry he could not get the 61. for me. Was that taken down ? Yes, all was taken down." She was then asked where she was taken to when she came to London, and she said the Gun Inn. She does not know where that is ; she is a stranger. Then follows " Have you seen any body else since you have been at the Gun Inn besides Mr. Harmer ? I do not think I have seen Mr. Harmer at the Gun Inn." They would find presently that she said she had seen him at the Gun Inn, and then told him abort the sovereign. She was then asked about the locality, and said she was standing at her room 401' AA the threshold. " Did you tell your daughter you had got the sovereign ? No. I did not. Did you tell Mrs. Hazard ? No. You told your husband ? Yes. Did you tell any one else ? .-I did not. Can you form any conjecture how Mr. Harmer found all this out ? (No answer.) Do you think Mr. Berkeley told him? I do not know, I am sure ; perhaps he did ;" and then re collecting herself, she added, " of course I told Mr. Harmer of it when he asked me the question ? Then you did tell Mr. Harmar you got the sovereign? I told him of it this morning ? That was on the morning of the 19th Fe bruary. Then of course he could not have known it on Friday last, when the Committee first sat, and the Learned Counsel made his statement r His Learned Friend Mr. Thesiger then stated the fact about the sovereign, Mr. THESIGEA—I did not, most decidedly. Mr. CaowDEß—His Learned Friend stated that it could he shown that Mr. Berkeley himself had personally committed bribery, in contradistinction to bribery com mitted by his agents. Mr. THESIGER—No, no. Mr. CROWDER—His Learned Friend did state to the Committee that he would show Mr. Berkeley to have shaken hands with Mrs, tinier, under such circumstances as would leave the matter under no mistake, and which would be more particularly detailed in the course of the evidence he should have to offer on that part of the case. But to return, " She never told him, before that morning You don't know whether your husband may not have told him ? If I did tell Mr. Harmer, I told ;him on the same condi tions as I told him the rest of it. What do you mean the same conditions... h at were t h e con di t i ons o n which you told qnyiLing to Mr. Harmar ? Mr. Harmar asked use re‘peeting the promi se M r. Carlisle had made, an d I told f him he had pro m i se d me the 6/., and Mr. Berkeley: o course, did not g i ve i t to me , ho only gave m e a soverei g n. Do Tou mean to, say you only told this to Mr. Harmar Mr. CROWDER contended that he had a right to to read and comment on that part. " Now, tell me thi s , did I not understand you to say that you told him of it at the same time, when you told him about the 6/. ? Yes. Did you tell us so ? I did not tell him of it then, not in Bristol. Then, you are quite sure you told him of it at the Gun, since you came to London ? Since I have been in London, and heAlid not know it before. And that you have told us was at the Gun ? Yes. ';Did you not say a little while ago, that you never saw Mr. Harmar at the Gun ? Ido not know what the name of the place is : lam a stranger here. Did you not tell us the name of it was the Gun ? Where the coach stopped, I do not know what the name of the place is. Did you not tell us that you had never seen Mr. Harmar at that place ? The coach stopped at several P• laces No : I mean the pl ace r% h ere you stopped on get ting out of the coach ? Do you mean the first place ? The first or the last, the place which you call the Gun : did you not state you had never seen Mr. Harmar at that place ? Mr. Harmar did not know it when I stopped. These were exactly the shuffling answers a witness would give when pressed hard. He would not press it further, as the whole evidence would be read over to them. She then went on, " I stopped this morning, I had a biscuit at the place where Mr. Harmar is." " She did not know the name of the place." Do you mean to say that you never saw Mr. Harmar in London, except where you stopped this morning ? " I saw him several times but not to speak to him." " Therefore, the only place where you spoke to him in London, was the place where you saw him this morning?" Yes, that was where I spoke to him, where I had the biscuit. Do you mean to say you told am you had mentioned that story to him, or given him that ac count at Bristol ? Ido not. Then when did you first give him the account of the sovereign? The first time I was at his house, when I was out one day last week, I spoke to Mr. Harmar about it. Why woman, did you not say just now you had never spoken to him till this morning ? Ido not know what you mean ; I did speak to Mr. Harmer about it, but not at the Gun. Is it true that you never spoke to Mr. Harmer in London until you spoke to him in London at the place where you took the biscuit ? I am sure I spoke to him last week. Was that in Lon don ? In London. Where was it ? At the same house where I spoke to him this morning. Then last week you spoke to him at the same house where you spoke to him this morning : was it there that you spoke to him about the sovereign ? It was at the same house. Was it at that time last week ? I did speak to him last week about it in the same house.—Do you adhere to this, that last week, in the same house where you spoke to him this' morning, you spoke to him about the sovereign?" t. Y es : " Last week ?" " Yes," " Was that the first time spoke to him abo u t th e sovere i gn ?" " Yes." " you You are quite sure (except on the occasion when you spoke to him last week at the same place where you spoke to him this morning, you had no conversation with him about the sove reign) that was the only conversation you had ?" " Yes:' Did he take down your conversation about the sovereign on that occasion ?" " I am not certain, I am sure I took 'no notice." " You are quite sure you did not tell hi m any thing at Bristol about th e sovereign ?" "No ; I do not believe I said a word to him about it in Bristol." Are you quite suro y o u did no t?" " I b e li eve I am quite sure I did not."—The Jury would see from these specimens how the witness prevaricated and contradicted herself: It would be recollected that neither Mr. Berkeley nor any of the persons implicated in the petition cauld be called, but it was not so to-day, for Mr. Berkeley would be called before them, and would tell them distinctly that it was false in every parti cular. She was then asked to explain why it was that she had not mentioned the matter before, and they would see her an swers on that point. " Now let me ask you why you said nothing to him about the sovereign in Bristol when you spoke to him about the 6/. Because I did not think of it. Had you forgotten the transaction ? No, I had not. Now did not the conversation about the 61. bring back into your mind the transaction about the sovereign Yes, certainly it did, Then what did you mean when you said you did think of it ? I did not go to Mr. Har mer respecting the sovereign, but to see wbether he would get me the 61. You are quite sure you did not tell Mr. Harmar anything about the sovereign at'Bristol ? Yes, I am." So that she most distinctly contradicted herself over and over again relative to that transaction. Th e witness was then asked why she had not then mentioned anything with respect to the sovereign, and her excuse for it was that there were several gentlemen in the room. That was a different reason from the one she had given before. She further stated that when she went to the office of Mr. Harmer, no questions were put to her respecting the sovereign. Now was that likely ? It was well known that Mr. Harmar was a strong par tizan upon the other side ; that he was the solicitor for the petition ; was it likely, then, that he would allow such an opportunity to escape him without inquiring into the matter? Was it in the nature of things that when Mr. Harmar was applied to respecting the alleged promise of the 61. that he would make no men tion of the 11., or make any further inquiries. Accordingly one part of the evidence showed clearly that Mr.Harmar had asked Mrs. Virrier about the sovereign, as would clearly be made out by the evidence which had been given by the woman. He would not trouble them by going through the whole of the cross-examination, as they must hear the whole of it read, that being one of the privileges of a de fendant, when indicted for conspiracy, that he could insist that the whole of the evidence given by him should be laid before the Jury. He had laid that which he thought was important before them—they would hear the whole of the woman's testimony—and then it would be for them to say whether it was possible for any one to put faith in one single word which had fallen from her. Other witnesses were examined before the Committee. He would not then allude to their evidence. They were also indicted ; and, as before the Committee they were called to corroborate Mrs. Virrier, it was possible that his Learned Friend might put them into the witness-box. If so, then it would be his duty to address them again ; and make such comments upon their evidence as it might be open to. After the defendant had given her testimony, his Learned Friend, seeing that the feeling of th e C omm i ttee was strongly against him, stated that he would press the proceedings against Mr. Berkeley no further, and accordingly that gentleman was confirmed in his seat, and the Committee unanimously stated that no imputation whatever rested upon the charac ter of the trustees. After such evidence had been given before the Committee Mr. Berkley had felt it a duty which he owed to his constituents—a duty he owed to himself—to the trustees, and to public justice—to indict the parties, and they were then on their deliverance before a Jury of their countrymen. The evidence he had to offer was plain, simple, and clear. He would call before them the whole of the gentlemen who were present on the 6th. July. Mr. Berkeley would voluntarily put himself i n the box in order to subject himself to a cross-examination by his Learned Friend, so as to test the truth of the state ment made before the Committee: It would be proved that Mr. Berkeley, from an unfortunate lameness in his right foot, was in the habit of using a stick in his right hand, and usually leaned upon the arm of a friend when he was walking with one. It would be proved that upon the occasion in question he was so leaning upon the arm of Mr. Visger, and that that gentleman must have seen all that passed. It would also be proved that Mr. Carlisle had a peculiarly strong voice, and was in the habit of talking loudly, so that even his whisper would be clearly heard : but ho would prove from the position of the parties, that had anything of the kind occurred as Mrs. Virrier alleged, they must all have been cognizant of it ; but they would one and all declare that no such thing ever happened, and MAURITICS.-Only 600 bags have been brought to public sale (a very indifferent parcel, which sold Is under previous rates ; low middling yellow went at 57s 6d, fine brown 51s, very ord 40s a 445, black 37s to 37s 6d, but generally importers are not inclined to submit to lower prices.
